Devils vs. Golden Knights Preview
Our "Contrarian Road Dogs" system capitalizes on public bias against visiting teams in the NHL.
Road underdogs consistently draw minimal betting support. However, these low sentiment teams often present hidden value when priced within a moderate moneyline range that keeps them competitive. The market tends to overvalue home-ice advantage and recent perception, which creates inflated prices on the favorite. By targeting road teams that are receiving limited public backing — yet still within striking odds — this system takes advantage of inefficient lines where motivation and matchup quality are underestimated. Over time, fading public consensus in these midrange road 'dog spots has produced steady returns.
Overall, this system is 704-986 (42%) and has produced a 6% ROI. However, that ROI has jumped up to 18% this season as the system is off to a strong 63-68 (48%) start.
